Chapter 2: My Name

"Saru, who is she?"

When I finally got what we called 'freedom', this boy called Saru brought me to this place and introduced me to a group of unfamiliar kids. Naturally, I was also unfamiliar to them so they looked at me in baffled.

"She is a new member of Feida and I decided to put her in Garu."

When they heard his announcement, all of them gasped in dumbfound.

"I still have some stuff to do so hope you guys get along with her."

Then, he left the room after that unnecessary words and there was only and these kids.

"Oi, new member." I turned to see a golden eyes boy walked up to me.

At first, I didn't pay it any mind to him. No matter what it was, it wasn't strange at all.

However, the next one he said to me.

"What is your name?"

Because of that question, for a moment, my mind filled with many thoughts.

As if I didn't understand myself. Even though I knew, why couldn't I answer that simple question?

"A…01"

Yes. It was always like that. Always like that. That's how I was called by 'them'.

That was my name. A name wasn't given by my parents but just a number as a product for the experiment.

"Aoi!" I opened my eyes and noticed I was sleeping on the chair with a bunch of reports on the table.

I turned my eyes and I saw Yuuchi who looked at me angrily.

"Yuuchi?"

"Mou! I couldn't believe you fell asleep while writing the reports." He sighed. "Anyway, Saru told me to call you. He wants to have a talk with you."

"Saru." I was hesitated but decided to go after that. Since it was the order from the emperor of Feida, there's no way I could refuse.

I walked to the hallway until reached to the destination.

"Saru, I will come in." I opened the door and noticed Saru was standing while looking at the window that reflecting his usual poker face.

"Oh, that was fast Aoi. So you have come" He turned to me and I nodded

"So…what do you want to talk with me?" By the time I blinked, I found Saru was standing closer to me. I instantly tried to back away, but Saru held my shoulder to prevent me from doing so.

"Aoi." I stared up at his lavender eyes as he made a playful smile. "Do you remember what day is today?"

"Today? Isn't today the day that I suppose to submit my reports to you?" I replied but instead of letting go, his hold became tighter that I nearly groaned in pain.

"Today is…" Then, a purplish light glowed on his eyes and I realized he was using telepathy on me.

"…the day that I brought you to Feida 5 years ago and named 'Aoi', isn't it? A01."

That's all! Sorry if it too short.
